MY MAN IS OUT OF THE RUNNING
My choice for Kerry's VP nominee was Bill Richardson. Tonight he announced he's requested his name be withdrawn from consideration.
I've been promoting Bill Richardson, the current Governor of New Mexico, for the Vice President nomination. According to the Associated Press, he has notified the Kerry Campaign that he no longer wants to be considered.
In addition to currently serving as NM Governor, Richardson is also serving as the Chair of the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. He previously served President Clinton as Secretary of Energy and Ambassador to the United Nations, and was a U.S. Congressman from New Mexico from 1982-1997.
Now I don't know WHO to lobby for - ANYBODY but Rep. Dick Gephardt! I'm not wild about Sen. Bob Graham either. Looks like for me it will be a tossup between Sen. John Edwards and Gov. Tom Vilsak. I think I need to call my cousins in Iowa and quiz them about their Governor...
